Latest Sightings - 3rd June - more sunshine and a Lego Damselfly!
Another lovely sunny day on the reserve.
The Meadow is growing at a rate of knots, and more Northern Marsh Orchids can now be seen popping their purple heads up.
Good numbers of Common Blue, Blue-tailed and Large Red Damselflies are around the Teal Pond, along with a few Four-spotted Chaser Dragonflies!
You can also see our fantastic Lego Damselfly in the Visitor Centre before heading out to see the real thing!
